Depression Support Group

Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

Family need some advice.

I been thinking of telling my sister about this community. How many of you have family on here? She knows most everything about me. I tell her more an more each time I talk to her. She is really depressed also. She bases her depression on a husband that doesnt have time for her. Which is really sad for her cause she loves him so much. Do you think she would benefit from the help? I know our boards get nasty at times and I have thought of that but i think she can handle it. anyway sure could use some advice. Thanks friends

Can YOU deal with your sister being here? This is not as casual a question as it may seem. There are a couple of husband - wife pairs on here that I am aware of, but no real life siblings I am aware of.

Yes i think i can handle her being here. I just want her to get some help. I feel so sad for her. I am doing so much better, even though i never update journal. LOL not good at journal. Its been a hard walk but everyday I am stronger.

You obviously care very much for your sister, so firstly, Kudos to you!!

yes, I would suggest she joins the community. I have not personally encountered too many negative people here. I know others have but that is just life. People who say unkind hurtful things can just be ignored, as long as she realises that it's in her power to ignore them. Go for it!

I have a cold, so I am staying at home so I don't get everyone else sick. This isn't what I need right now. This New Years Eve will be my first without my dad (he passed in October). When the clock strikes midnight we will enter a new year. A year where my dad would have turned 80. A year that he will not physically be here.There has been a lot of great things that happened this year, but it is...
